So many questions not least , where does the money come from to A) buy the club B) maintain the club C) move forward
Simple answers?
A) you hope to pick the club up for a pound as the current incumbents cut their losses
B) you maintain the club to break even, that may involve a vastly reduced playing budget to begin with...no point in hiding from that
C) you build on what you have, some of that will come naturally ala Lincoln, the way they have almost trebled their gates by getting fans more involved, being more transparent in their dealings, and making it an attractive proposition for local business to advertise and sponsor. That could affect B) above and may reduce the need for massive cuts.
Cloth is cut accordingly! Solidarity payments and TV revenue are a known figure, but pretty much everything else is variable. Income affects expenditure.....
In the short term the club becomes more attractive to the fans and local business, in the long term it becomes more attractive to possible outside investment. At that time the fans can then decide whether their ambitions have been realised and they’ve taken the club as far as they can.
Very simplistic I know......but why make things difficult?
